i speak specifically of china and russia. and we have always wanted and the law requires us to provide protection against the kind of unauthorized or accidental launch that can occur. this is not an idle concern. we spent enormous amounts of time and energy and money trying to ensure these extraordinarily lethal weapons are never launched by accident or by some unauthorized event. and that's one of the reasons for a missile defense system, to ensure that that kind of accident never would result in harm to the united states, and, of course, what they're also worried about is that if that ever happens then there's the question of retaliation, how do you know this is not intentional? how do you know we shouldn't retaliate? wars can be started almost by accident and the best protection against that is a missile defense system that can ensure that no harm is done even if there is such a launch and in the meantime week find out whether this is real, whether we need to respond, whether we need to start another war. that's the benefi

let's begin with russia. russia joined the w.t.o. this summer. congress does not have veto power on that. all we can do is decide here whether to allow u.s. businesses and workers to see the benefits of russia's w.t.o. obligations. will russia always honor these obligations on its own initiative? probably not. but russia's w.t.o. membership means we can at least hold them to those obligations, and we must be prepared to enforce those obligations. that is a lesson we learned the hard way over the last few years. this bill actually does that. this bill has strong anti-bribery and anti-corruption provisions. it has mechanisms to help strengthen our intellectual property rights, but that's not all. another critical piece of this bill is the magnitsky act, placing real sanctions on those individuals who are complicit in human rights violations. this is a serious policy upgrade and a big win for human rights. at the end of the day, russia's entry in the w.t.o. can be expected to create real jobs here in the u.s. by reducing tariffs and other barriers t
